Mentoring Educators Today for ATE Tomorrow

See how Mentor-Connect has advanced the growth of Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program funded projects via the interactive maps linked below. Visitors can also view our list of community college teams that have participated in Mentor-Connect mentorship and have received a National Science Foundation (NSF) ATE Grant Award.

Mentor-Connect Interactive Maps

Mentor-Connect has collaborated with the Geospatial Resource Center at Jefferson Community and Technical College in Louisville, Kentucky to develop interactive maps of the colleges that have participated in Mentor-Connect since 2013. 

The maps show the college locations by cohort and by state and also provide information about their ATE-funded proposals, including NSF grant numbers, proposal titles, funding amounts, and the names of the Principal Investigators and Co-Principal Investigators.  

The initial map shows all participating colleges, color-coded by cohort.  Click on the dots to see the names of the colleges and, for those whose proposals have been funded, for information about their projects. Click on the pie chart for maps that show the colleges by cohort.  A bar graph shows the number of colleges that have participated in each state. Click on the state bars for maps that show the participating colleges in each state. To see those colleges in their congressional districts, zoom in on the states until the district boundaries appear.
